GARMENTJQIANGER.

Application. filed April 19, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, Gnonen A. CUTTING, a. citizen of the United States, residing at South Paris, in the county of Oxford and E tate of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grarnient-ldlang ers; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will. enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to supports and more particularly to clothes supports or other hangers.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a simple, practicable, inexpensive and substantial form of device in the nature of a clothes hanger. It is auother object of the present invention to provide a clothes hanger which may be readily attached to various convenient supports and also toprovide a device of this type which can be easily detached after it has been temporarily, if desired, inter-engaged with a form of support.

A further object of the invention to provide a clothes hanger a feature of which comprises means of enabling the attachn'ient of the device to a support without to any material degree marring or destroyiiupthe surface of the same, so that no marks will be left when the hanger is removed there from.

With these and other objects in view as will be rendered ll'lELDlfGSl; to those versed in the art, the invention consists in the construction, the combination, and in details and arrangements of parts as will be eX- plained more fully hereinafter in the following specification relative to the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanyingg, drawings, wherein,

The figure is a perspective view of the hanger illustrated as attached to a portion of a frame.

Preferably the hanger constructed of a single piece of metal. in the form of round wire of suitable length. The wire is bent approximately at its central point between the ends to form an ordinarily shaped garment receiving portion 2, having parallel Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 291,319.

straight shanks 3-3 which. are twisted together at l and thence outwardly in portions 5-5 which are substantially alined. The outer ends of the portions 5?) are bent upwardly and convergently toward each. other as at thus forming two oppositely disposed triangular brackets or supporting}; plntions which lie in a common plane. T he upper ends of the body portion li-6 are twisted together as at 'i' and the ends of the wires are divergently bent back in horizontal arms 8S, the teri'i'iinals of which are bent downwardly as at 9-4) to form penetrating or impaling points 10-.l0. it will be seen that the hook portion 2 extends foo wardly and upwardly from the general plane of the body part consisting of the triangle and the points l0--10 are directed downwardly! parallel to the plane of the body part t5-6 and the plane of the points is sufliciently spaced from the plane of the triangle to enable the points to push down behind a strip indicated at ll for instance as a door, window or other frame. ln the event that the frame or strip portion F is of grez'iter thickness than the distance of the plane of the points and the body angles (3 then the points can be driven into the top edges of the frame section or arms 8 converged.

From the above it will be seen that I have provided a simple, practicable, inexpensive and easily applied or removed coat or other hanger which can be applied so that the visible surface of the supporting portion will not be materially mutilated.

l claim:

A clothes or other hanger consisting of a single piece of wire having a body part of triangle forn'iation having a horizontal base, the two wires at the apex being; llltQlllWlFltOfl to form a ri. id vertical part, horizontal arms extending; obliquely back from said rigid vertical. part and haying downwardly turned in'ipaling points at their extreme ti ps, and a receiving part bent forwardly from the center i the base of the body part substantially under said rigid vertical part.

ln testimony wl'iereof l affix my signature.
